@brie all three photos look in good order. I really like the poplar and the London plane cap! Looking forward to updates
Hi Emmanuel, I'm not very good at taking my own advice, but the trick is practice, practice, some more practice and then a little more practice. Th...
@clinton looks great, fella! Good work on the binding. Where did you get the timber? Cheers Dan
Thanks @nsj I'll take a look. I'd go for glue in, I think. I'm often finding with guitar building (but can be asked to life in general) is that I...
